A family tragedy compels a young couple to trade their city life for one in the country.

Do they have some classic pulp detective novels? What about graphic novel collections? Maybe the severed head of the poor unfortunate soul […]

“Seven dreamers…” Like most horror fanatics, Alien was my first venture into the world of science-fiction terror. The film evokes such an inky black feeling of dread and tension, it remains to this day a film that sticks with me days after I re-watch it.
